Abstract: In an apparatus useful for sealing layers of a web comprised of plastic film layers to one another in a bag-making machine, a sealing drum having a cylindrical surface is employed. A sealing blanket is deployed about plural blanket rolls and about the sealing drum so that a substantial portion of the cylindrical surface of the sealing drum is wrapped by the sealing blanket with the wrapping surface facing the cylindrical surface while the remaining portion of the cylindrical surface is not wrapped thereby at any given time. A nip roll acts together with one of the blanket rolls so as to define a nip. An idle roll is located near the nip. The sealing apparatus is operable so that the sealing blanket is drawn through the nip with the wrapping surface facing the nip roll, so that the web is drawn through the nip, between the nip roll and the wrapping surface of the sealing blanket, then around the idle roll, and then around the sealing drum, between the wrapping surface of the sealing blanket and the cylindrical surface of the sealing drum. The nip roll is pressed pneumatically with an adjustable pressure toward the blanket roll acting together with the nip roll, whereby the nip roll controls the tension on the web being drawn through the nip.

Abstract: A jig (14A) is successively mounted on each of the four wheels (10) of a
vehicle. The jig (14A) is struck in three orthogonal directions
independently by an impulse hammer (14B), and at the same time, a
microphone (16) inside the vehicle measures the sound pressure of the
noise generated due to the exciting force of the impact. An FFT
analyzer (18A) operates a frequency response function from the exciting
force to the sound pressure of the noise. In a drum testing machine (2A),
a tire (26) which is to be subject to noise prediction is mounted on a shaft,
the subject tire (26) is rotated, and the axial force in the three orthogonal
directions is measured. The axial force signal is input to the FFT
analyzer (18B) and the auto power spectrum of the axial force in the three
orthogonal directions and the cross power spectrum between two
different axial directions are operated. The frequency response
functions of all of the four standard tires are synthesized with four of
the auto power spectrums and the cross power spectrums of the
subject tire and the power spectrum of the road noise is operated.

Abstract: In this invention, an idea is adopted in which the
pressure at a forward portion and a backward portion of valve
device is steppingly dropped twice. The valve device of the
present invention includes, on the axis of a spool 600, a first
valve 710 located nearer an inlet port and a second valve 720
located nearer an outlet port. A throttling area made by the
second valve 720 is larger than a throttling area made by the
first valve 710. For example, of all the pressure difference
equal to 120 kg / cm 2  or more required at the forward and backward
portions of the valve device, a portion in the range where the
problem of an occurrence of a foreign noise is not encountered
(for example, a portion ranging from 100 to 120 kg /cm 2 ) is
undertaken by the first valve 710, and the remaining portion
ranging from 20 to 30 kg / cm 2  is undertaken by the second valve
720. By doing so, there can be eliminated such a pressure
difference where a generation of a noise before and after an
actual throttling (including a primary throttling made by the
first valve 710 and a secondary throttling made by the second
valve 720) can become a problem.

Abstract: The BER is used as a parameter for evaluating the performance of
an optical transmission system. Performance of optical systems is also
defined by the Q factor, which indicates the signal-to-noise ratio of the
electric signal regenerated by the receiver. In the absence of distortion, Q
is univocally determined by the BER. Q is calculated using an estimated
BER measured with the path under normal conditions of operation, and a
distortion-free Q is determined in the same operating point of the system.
The distortion penalty for the path is obtained by comparing the measured
Q with the distortion free Q. In addition, the distortion penalty for a
transmittter-receiver pair, and a distortion penalty for a transmission link
between the transmitter and receiver may be determined.

Abstract: A truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator that provides a best estimate of a transmitted symbol sequence includes a lookup table and a comparator. The lookup table may be responsive to at least a next sample of a received RF signal, a first decision made on a first previous sample of the RF received signal and a second decision made on the second previous sample of the RF received signal. The lookup table provides at an output at least one threshold value stored in the lookup table that is addressed by the next sample of the received signal, the first decision made on the first previous sample and the second decision made on the second previous sample. The comparator is coupled to the output of a lookup table and is responsive to the at least one threshold value and a current sample of the received RF signal. The comparator compares the current sample of the received RF signal with at least one threshold value and provides a best estimate of the transmitted symbol sequence. The truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator can be used for example to determine a best estimate of a transmitted symbol sequence of a current sample of 4-ary frequency shift keyed signal or a 2-ary frequency shift keyed received signal. In addition, the truncated maximum likelihood estimator can be used within a wireless radio that transmits and receives an RF waveform including a modulated symbol stream to provide the best estimate of the received modulated symbol stream. Further, the truncated maximum likelihood estimator can be used within a wireless local area network that includes at least one computer interfaced to a wireless radio containing the truncated maximum likelihood sequence estimator to provide wireless communications between either computers or between a computer and a computer network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to undergarments that have close body fit. The undergarment of the present invention includes an elasticized waistband, a front region, a rear region, a crotch region and a pair of elasticized leg openings. The front and rear regions are preferably elastically extensible in both the longitudinal and lateral directions. The crotch region is disposed between the front and rear regions and has greater resistance to stretching in the longitudinal direction than the front and rear regions. The crotch region is further provided with a longitudinal stretch control member that is disposed along the longitudinal centerline of the undergarment and a plurality of angled stretch control members that extend from the longitudinal stretch control member to the leg elastics at an acute angle to the longitudinal stretch control member. The stretch control members limit the stretch of the crotch region in both the longitudinal and the lateral directions that causes the crotch region to conform to a wearer's skin surface. The rear region is provided with a lifting member that cooperates with the rear region, the front region and the longitudinal stretch control member to provide a "z-direction" biasing force along the longitudinal stretch control member. This biasing force, which is greater than the body contact force in adjacent portions of the crotch region, causes the crotch region, and any absorbent article that may be disposed thereon, to be lifted into close bodily contact when the undergarment is worn.

IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1999-01-13
Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed that improve the
performance of multi-threaded computer applications that use objects (within an object
collection) which require exclusive thread access. The invention monitors
interrelationships between the objects in the object collection and provides mechanisms to
lock the minimal set of these objects for the exclusive thread access. When these objects
are locked, independent or unrelated objects are left unlocked and can, in turn, be locked
by other threads. Because a minimal set of objects are locked other threads that access the
object collection are less likely to be blocked by the lock. Thus, these other threads are
more likely to be able to simultaneously access objects in the object collection.
